Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi Lucy, I don't refrigerate my VCO and I take 3-4 TAB a day.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Well, yes, I take iodine. I really don't know which one helps more but I don't want to stop either one. The iodine has made my receptors more sensitive and I've been able to lower my insulin, which I think also helps the weight loss. I'm thyroidless - that's why I take iodine, but it is my understanding that many of us are deficient in it. >>>are you taking anything else besides the coconut oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Lucy , sometimes a loss of bone mass is caused by lack of vitamin D. the vitamin D council has determined that the 400 units of D that is the USRDA is the very minimum to prevent deficiency diseases like rickets, but that the optimum ampount is around 5000 units a day.If yyour body doesnt have enough vitaminD you can take calcium till you are a stone but your body cannot use it. Also Magnesium is important to the body in order to assimilate the calcium into your body.For every 500 mgs of calcium you should get 250 mgs of magnesium. http://www.vitamindcouncil.com/ IN NC Lucy Tarallo <Lucy_tarallo@...> wrote: some drs. think i have a parathyroid problem because calcium coming out of bones into blood and they want to remove one of my parathyroid glands, so far i haven't had it done Grammy D wrote: Well, yes, I take iodine.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 thank you for the info, i do also take vitamin d, but if my thyroid/parathyroid is not working correctly, i assume if it coming out of bones into blood, but i am not sure about having parathyroid surgery. i was hoping coconut oil would help with weight loss, chloresterol and possible thyroid Wilkins <montemomma2002@...> wrote: Lucy , sometimes a loss of bone mass is caused by lack of vitamin D. the vitamin D council has determined that the 400 units of D that is the USRDA is the very minimum to prevent deficiency diseases like rickets, but that the optimum ampount is around 5000 units a day.If yyour body doesnt have enough vitaminD you can take calcium till you are a stone but your body cannot use it.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi , Sometimes hyperparathyroidism is caused by a secondary lack of vitamin D. It seems to make sense that if a person lacks vitamin D, the parathyroids would secrete more PTH to try to make up for the lack of vitamin D. I'm not sure if what I'm talking about is accurate and I don't have a link, but I will check it out with a pharmacist friend. Here is what he writes back - " In " normal " people, a lack of Vitamin-D causes the parathyroids to increase their output to try and increase the calcium level. This often causes the parathyroid hormone to rise above the normal range - so-called " secondary hyperparathyroidism " . It is now believed to be a lot more common than once thought, as it is now acknowledged that a lot of people may have low Vitamin-D levels, especially those in the northern hemisphere, where ultraviolet light is less, and so Vitamin-D production in the skin is lower. There have been some proposals that we ought to start fortifying food (possibly flour) with Vitamin-D to try and prevent this, but this is controversial, as was the idea that salt should be fortified with iodine and flour with folic acid (both now common in many countries). " He states " in normal people " because he and I both have hypOparathyroidism.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Again, thanks for the info, i have had my vitamin d levels checked and they were normal but i did increase my vitamin d supplements. I probably take about 1200 iu per day. One doctor wanted me to take about 5,000 iu but i didn't. What do you take for your hypoparathyrodism?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi Lucy, My PTH runs a little high. so Im more Hyper.Mine is related to weight loss surgery I had 6 years ago. My body has a shorter intestinal tract than the normal so I dont absorb calcium like normal folk do. I have to keep an eye on the calcium and D intake to prevent bone loss.I take 6 500mg Calcium citrate and 4 250 magnesium a day.I take 5000 IU of Dry D (I also malabsorb Fat) so it has to be a special form. in NC Lucy Tarallo <Lucy_tarallo@...> wrote: Again, thanks for the info, i have had my vitamin d levels checked and they were normal but i did increase my vitamin d supplements.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Since taking the coconut oil (one week) i feel bloated and uncomfortable. Does anyone know about taking apple cider vinegar in addition to the oil. Is it possible that the oil is hard to digest, can anything be taken for that? I also read about doing a liver cleanse before starting, has anyone does that? Grammy D <grammyDx2@...> wrote: Hi , Sometimes hyperparathyroidism is caused by a secondary lack of vitamin D.
